Hello,

Some months ago I also had the strange behaviour, of Files getting _sometimes_
lost when connecting from NT4.0 SP5 to Samba 2.06 / 2.0.7, while
the connection to an W95 worked fine.
My NT box had a NE2000 10MBit clone, and my Samba Serve a 100MBit EEPro100.
A few days later I got a  second 100MBit EEPro100 for my NT box and everything
went fine. The funny thing is that when I use a smbclient running Linux on
the NT box everything worked fine.

Maybe you have a similar problem,
Best wishes
Peter
